dope up
Administer strong sedatives
To dope up is to administer drugs, especially sedatives or performance-enhancing substances: They doped up the horse before the race.
Someone who is doped up is under the influence of drugs, often heavily medicated: She was so doped up on painkillers she could barely speak.
The phrase can suggest either legitimate medication or illicit use.
